“…1 It has also been suggested that the censored media in mainland China may actually encourage more Chinese people to discuss forbidden and hidden news, as well as political events, online (Roberts, 2015). A study conducted by Xu (2013) demonstrates that trust in online news is related to the feeling that the Internet offers information which the mainstream channels do not.…”

The purpose of our study is to investigate gender and culture and their relationship with two types of Internet media use: gaming and social media. This study is part of a survey administered at one Canadian and three Chinese universities. We hypothesized that men would be higher-end gamer’s vis-à-vis women across cultures and that the reverse is likely to be true regarding social media usage. Also we assumed that women would prefer casual when it came to video game genres while men would opt for action and strategy with less violence, although combat-centric games are being favored in some parts of China, as was highlighted in previous studies on cultural differences in gaming. It was also expected that the Canadians would be higher in independence but lower in interdependent self-construal than the Chinese. The findings of this survey were both expected and surprising. Expected was the gender difference in the types of media preferred as well as the specifics within such media, that is, video game genre preferences. Surprising was the high level of gaming, even the noncombat type, among Chinese women and the continued dominance of Facebook. Considerable differences emerged with Hong Kong, often appearing most like the West, and mainland China being the most collectivist on several dimensions. Taiwan seemed to fall in between depending on the measure.

“…First, national advertising can reach a large number of audiences, which suggests low specificity and high generality, and thus, it is suitable for the purpose of brand-building (Sridhar et al 2016). The brand-building functionality of national advertising is further strengthened because national media channels such as China Central Television (CCTV) are generally regarded as trustworthy information sources in China (Xu 2013). By contrast, local advertising is highly relevant to specific local markets, and thus, the goal of local advertising is more related to generating immediate sales and it is usually more short-term focused (Popkowski Leszczyc and Rao 1990).…”

This study examines Chinese consumer's demand for yogurt and evaluates the effect of advertising on yogurt demand in four first-tier cities in China. An almost ideal demand system augmented with advertising is estimated, and advertising on local media channels is distinguished from that on national media channels. The main findings are that Chinese demand for yogurt is generally elastic, yet local brands tend to have smallest own-price elasticities. More importantly, while local advertising has generally a positive effect on yogurt demand, national advertising is found to decrease demand in Beijing and Guangzhou. This may be due to households' distinct media preference across cities, as well as advertising cannibalisation within brand. Lastly, advertising one yogurt brand may function similarly as generic advertising in promoting demand for yogurt with other brands. Corresponding marketing implications are drawn for yogurt manufacturers and marketers.

“…As an entertainment program with no political pretentions, IYAO enjoys a certain degree of editorial, personal, and financial independence even under China’s strict regime of ideological control. This relative operational autonomy, or “semi-independent” space (Huang, 2000), tends to destabilize media practices in a system where the media are still subject to state control (Xu, 2013). As I shall show in the following sections, the transformation that IYAO underwent under government regulation exemplifies the power interplay between media commercialization and political censorship in the Chinese media industry.…”

If You Are the One, the most watched dating show in China, caused a heated public debate following its debut in 2010, resulting in two government notices being issued regarding the regulation of dating shows. Using textual and intertextual analysis of the show and the public debate surrounding it, this article scrutinizes the transformation, following government regulation, of the construction of masculinity on the show. Drawing on Lisa Rofel’s narrative of “desiring China” and Robert P. Weller’s concept of “responsive authoritarianism,” this article shows how the tension between the market logic of the Chinese media and their political ownership is played out through the negotiation and mobilization of the meaning of gender. This article therefore also sheds light on larger political, economic, and sociocultural configurations in contemporary China.
